Author: Prebble Q. Ramswell File Type: pdf The 21st century has been host to a significant change in political and social perspective. The European Union, once held as a harbinger of hope and source of a European unity and identity, has now become a despised enemythe source of stolen nationalism, culture, and tradition. Peripheral groups of the far right and left have now emerged as the voices of moderation, attempting to forge a path to a Europe reflective of the union they had envisioned, a Europe that at once embraces national and European identity without a loss of economic and political sovereignty. These groups are resilient, competent, rational, and above all, successful. Their methods and manner are both something old and something new, an evolved form of fascismwitnessed through a new lens the lens of Euroscepticism. It is Millennial Fascism the reinterpretation and new iteration of the ideology that propelled Mussolini and Hitler to infamy. **Review Ramswells scholarly yet accessible study explores the interaction between ideological, societal, and political trends in contemporary Europe. Bringing acute insight to her examination, her thesis is provocative, and her conclusions are no less so. Scholars focused on the future of the European project should read and heed this important work. (General John Adams, Guardian Six LLC) Prebble Ramswell has done a masterful job evaluating one of Europes most pressing issues of the 2010sthe effects of the emergence and growth of far left and right populist political movements on domestic and international order. She does a thorough job tracing the post-Cold War history of the phenomenon she aptly brands millennial fascism, and assesses its effects on the domestic political systems of states across the continent, as well as on the European Union and the very idea of Europe. A must read for a turbulent period. (Robert J. Pauly, University of Southern Mississippi) Dr. Ramswell reframes nationalist political action as Millennial Fascism, offering insight into Brexit and the US 2016 Presidential election with a new research methodology. Eurosceptic nationalist groups have rapidly gained acceptance and political power by marketing national resurgence in the absence of a racist or violent agenda. In rekeying traditional scholarly approaches previously tuned to WWII fascism, Ramswells millennial fascism perceives a post-2000 variant that transcends right or left and deploys political outreach to continue to rapidly achieve not only success but respect. Her methodology for identifying Millennial Fascist groups and evaluating their likely political success so far reveals the efficacy of group cohesiveness and the turn toward Putin for inspiration, political access, and resources. Here is the danger of Millennial Fascism not only the threat of Russias rising influence in Europe but its consequence for global political and economic stability. Her work could not be a more timely a step toward clarity. (Renee Courey, Columbia Southern University) About the Author Prebble Q. Ramswell is a political analyst who spent six years working in counterterrorism for the Central Intelligence Agency.

Author: Vincent Bugliosi File Type: pdf Famed Charles Manson prosecutor and three time #1 New York Times bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi has written the most powerful, explosive, and thought-provoking book of his storied career. In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that President Bush took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretensesa war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight and alienated many American allies in the Western world. As a prosecutor who is dedicated to seeking justice, Bugliosi, in his inimitable style, delivers a non-partisan argument, free from party lines and instead based upon hard facts and pure objectivity. A searing indictment of the President and his administration, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder also outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the oval office.

Author: Adam Jones File Type: pdf Genocide and war crimes are increasingly the focus of scholarly and activist attention. Much controversy exists over how, precisely, these grim phenomena should be defined and conceptualized. Genocide, War Crimes & the West tackles this controversy, and clarifies our understanding of an important but under-researched dimension the involvement of the US and other liberal democracies in actions that are conventionally depicted as the exclusive province of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes. Many of the authors are eminent scholars andor renowned activists in most cases, their contributions are specifically written for this volume. In the opening and closing sections of the book, analytical issues are considered, including questions of responsibility for genocide and war crimes, and institutional responses at both the domestic and international levels. The central section is devoted to an unprecedentedly broad range of original case studies of western involvement, or alleged involvement, in war crimes and genocide. At a moment in history when terrorism has become a near universal focus of public attention, this volume makes clear why the West as a result of both its historical legacy and contemporary actions so often excites widespread resentment and opposition throughout the rest of the world.
